Fork is bent. Other than that it's pretty solid. Rear diff works. The engine is a low hr industrial plus Briggs 5hp. So it's a bearing, cast iron sleeve block, and has bowl style carb. Runs flawless. $200 for it all. Or trade for mini drag bike frame.

This is my first post here so "POP". I am going to pick this up tonight. This is my first mini bike since I was 10 and I am very excited. Just trying to find out who made this. It has a Montgomery Wards sticker on the front but who REALLY made it? I don't think it is an ARCO due to the swing arm...
Looking for a Wards minibike... prefer a VT525 but willing to consider others, prefer something relatively orig, condition open, want something to add to the Wards-friendly garage next to the Lambretta and Benelli.

I emailed them to tell them it was a Bonanza, not a Montgomery Wards. It seems someone else did the same but told them it's a Trail Horse built by MTD??? :doah:
Here is a little bit different Gilson, wards Mini bike project. Someone took the original rear mounted tank and put it on the top of the frame more like a motorcycle. Then they cut off the original bars, welded angle iron across the fork tubes and mounted motorcycle risers and handlebars. Not a...
Hey all, built this earlier this year and got it ready to use at the Little Sahara campgrounds in OK. Other than being there for a few days we have ridden it a couple of times around the block. I enjoy building these and decided to build, flip, then build again.
This took me quite a long...
Pretty sure this trike I just picked up is a Monkey Warts... Yes I should know but I dont know everything!! Its very similiar to a couple others that were made and that I have.
It even has a Oem "speaker" headlight and I have the taillight too..:thumbsup:
This is an Arco/Montgomery Ward's Bushwacker project-the frame has been media blasted and is ready to paint after a light sanding. The forks go up and down,but need taken apart and redone-looks like someone tried to modify them and goofed. I think this is actually a Ward's model because of the...
Just picked this up today and I think this big a$$ thing shouldn't be considered a mini because next to my Harrison it's huge. 6 feet long all solid frame and finally some thing to put my 8 hp Tecumseh on.
Here is another barn find.. Gilson Allis Chalmers Wards mini bike with a briggs on it. Missing fenders, guards and rear fuel tank. Has the brake and 2 speed clutch still on jack shaft. Needs restoration as it looks like it has not run in years and needs help.. I love the wooden block under the...
[url='http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/photopost/data/2933/bushwacker_001.JPG'][/url I found this old ARCO Bushwacker nearly complete......Looks like she'll clean up nice. I'll keep y'all posted.....
I put my Wards/Arco bike together, thinking I would put it on C/L to sell.
I guess it's because of the seat being over the wheel but it will wheelie like you would not believe.
What a blast :scooter:
I might have to keep it:scooter:
Somehow the topic of mini bikes came up at work & a co-worker told me that he had an old mini bike just laying around somewhere, but that it was in really bad shape. He said he would bring it in for me to give to my son. He just gave this bike to me! I was expecting junk, but was totally...
